It's that coveted day of the year -- when boys and girls become men and women, chefs become better chefs, and all of the media will immediately start debating who deserved a James Beard nomination and who didn't. Get excited!

Mom is finally selling houses! Problem is she isn’t licensed. No big whoop for her, the test will be a breeze! Except she freaks when she meets Kim, a mega realtor who’s sold 358 houses and is getting recertified. She walks out of the test, assuaging her failure with a Chipwitch. Mmmm…now that’s something I can get behind: Chipwitch and a mostly Mom-centric episode.

Artist Paints over Own Mural at Mission Cantina after Danny Bowien Removes Signature

When Danny Bowien commissioned a giant rainbow skull mural of Frida Kahlo for his new restaurant, Mission Cantina, he probably didn’t think it would case him controversy, much less suddenly vanish overnight. OH BUT IT DID.

After he realized that the artist, Theodore Bradley, had signed the mural with his email address (see Bowien’s photo above), the chef asked him to remove it for fear that it would make the artwork look like an advertisement. Bradley refused saying that the email address was his signature. Bowien then made the mistake of painting over the signature himself.

Bowery Boogie soon came across a blank wall where the rainbow skull used to be, as well as one very pissed off Bradley. In an email, he told them that he wasn’t “trying to advertise my services, I just wanted to paint and share it with my friends.” But since Mission Cantina “didn’t like the fact that my name or info was on it, [they] don’t deserve to have my work on his wall! So I painted over.”

Bowien took to Twitter to defend his actions:

@pete_wells Not a signature, his contact info, his email. That wasn’t part of the agreement.
